The Central American Commission for Environment and Development (CCAD) through the "Integrated Ridge to Reef Management of the Mesoamerican Reef Ecoregion Project" funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), as an implementing agency, seeks to strengthen regional collaboration for integrated watershed management to the reef of the SAM ecoregion, demonstrating its advantages and improving regional, national and local capacities for the management and integrated governance of its freshwater, coastal and marine resources.

Due to its comprehensive “From Ridge to Reef” approach, the geographic scope of the project includes the priority watersheds in the MAR, cloud forests, jungles, large rivers, karst hydrogeological systems, lagoons, and wetlands that connect the land with seagrass beds and extensive coral reefs.
